The attempted murder and sexual assault trial of a former mixed martial arts fighter took an unexpected turn on Tuesday when a once-potential juror showed up to court with a gift of sorts for the man who calls himself War Machine.

The unidentified woman arrived with a smile and handed a small manila envelope to the marshal in Courtroom 15B, despite not being selected in the high-profile case, which saw its second day of testimony on Tuesday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. War Machine is accused of viciously attacking ex-girlfriend and former porn star Christine Mackinday in a jealous outburst over a new boyfriend.

The woman had penned a letter with what appeared to be a handmade blue leather bracelet inscribed with the word “grace” on it. The gesture confused both defense attorneys and prosecutors, leading them to approach District Judge Elissa Cadish’s bench to inspect the envelope’s contents.

The letter’s contents were not made public, but attorneys said the woman wrote that she was praying for War Machine — born Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver — and asked others to do the same. She also wrote that someone close to her was serving time behind bars under similar circumstances, the newspaper reports.

Cadish ruled that the woman should be allowed to write Koppenhaver, who remains held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. The package, however, would need to be mailed and processed to Koppenhaver just as it would any other inmate, she said.

The letter was simply “private thoughts” that the woman wanted to share with Koppenhaver, according to his defense attorney, Jay Leiderman, who called the gesture “very sweet.”

Prosecutor Jacqueline Bluth, meanwhile, objected to allowing the woman to present Koppenhaver with a package, calling it “absolutely inappropriate.”

Witness testimony continued in the case after the onetime potential juror appeared with her note, including that of two officers who responded to the initial 911 call made by Mackinday. One of the cops testified that she was traumatized by seeing the former porn star’s extensive injuries, LasVegasNow.com reports.

“Geez, her face was completely swollen; both eyes just puffy and closed,” said Officer Somalia Shepard. “Her teeth were — two of her teeth were missing. She had dry blood around her mouth and her nose. She had bruising on her leg. She just complained of pain.”

Prosecutors on Monday began their case against Koppenhaver, who legally changed his name during his 19-fight MMA career, with opening statements of his trial on 34 counts, including attempted murder, kidnapping and sexual assault. Roughly an hour before the early-morning attack on Aug. 8, 2014, Koppenhaver and Mackinday — known by her stage name, Christy Mack — had exchanged “I love you” text messages, according to Leiderman.

“And then it all breaks loose,” Leiderman told jurors.

Koppenhaver, 35, has pleaded not guilty and faces up to life in prison if convicted. He was arrested outside Los Angeles a week after the alleged attack in Las Vegas.
